This instalment introduces two tracks set in Italy: the ‘Città d’Aria’ course – which corresponds to Assisi – and the ‘Amalfi Coast’. The Città d’Aria course starts and ends in front of the Temple of Minerva, and winds through the narrow streets in the historic city centre and part of the motorway; heading the right way on the track you end up on Corso Mazzini from Via Portica. The Temple is therefore highly visible when you do the course backwards. The Amalfi track starts on the seafront: being rich in hairpin turns, it is slower than the Assisi track and aesthetically more pleasing. These tracks also appear in Gran Turismo 4 Prologue and Gran Turismo PSP.
Photo Mode, which allows the player to take photos of their cars in famous settings, also features Venice, more specifically St. Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge.
